Genetic Rickets: Can it be that early?

Alharbi Tahani , Al Atawi Mohsen , Al Juraibah Fahad , Babiker Amir

Background: The primary cause of calciopenic rickets is often vitamin D deficiency (VDD) or restricted calcium intake. It can also be caused by inactivation or resistance to vitamin D due to genetic mutations. Vitamin D genetic causes can present as early as 6 months of age in previous reports. We present here a 2-month-old baby with biochemical and radiological features highly suggestive of a metabolic bone disease likely genetic rickets. However, the baby al...

Effect of Reward-based Motivation on Metabolic Control in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Kocyigit Cemil , Catli Gonul , Can Sule Penbe , Dundar Bumin Nuri

Background: Metabolic control is important in prevention and delay of microvascular and macrovascular complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Psychological disorders and, a lack of motivation may negatively affect metabolic control. Therefore, motivational and psychological support can be needed as a part of medical treatment to improve metabolic control in patients with type 1 DM.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the impact of reward-base...

de Arriba Antonio , Pascual Javier , de Francisco Mario , Ferrer Marta , Martinez Ignacio , Labarta Jose Ignacio , Ferrandez Angel

Background: Recognizing the risk of developing obesity is essential to implement preventive measures to avoid the increasing prevalence of obesity in adulthood.Objective: To evaluate predictive factors that may be associated with overweight and obesity in early adulthood.Method: A regression analysis of different variables of body composition in a normal population have been done. The sample consisted of 122 boys and 120 girls foll...

Parental Obesity can Trigger Obesity in Children

Koohmanaee Shahin , Dalili Setila

Background: Obesity is a disease (2) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rate (3) and needs extensive preventive procedures and effective interferences. Children with obese parent are in danger of becoming obese in their adolescence and adulthood even when trying to keep their weight stable.Objective and hypotheses: We aimed to investigate whether parental obesity can trigger obesity in children or not.Method...

Palatability Can Drive Feeding Independent of AgRP Neurons

Raphael G.P.

Feeding behavior is exquisitely regulated by homeostatic and hedonic neural substrates that integrate energy demand as well as the reinforcing and rewarding aspects of food. Understanding the net contribution of homeostatic and reward-driven feeding has become critical due to the ubiquitous source of energy-dense foods and the consequent obesity epidemic. Hypothalamic, agouti-related protein-secreting neurons (AgRP neurons) represent primary orexigenic drives of homeostatic fe...

Stress and Hyperprolactinemia: Can a Stimulation Test be Used to Evaluate?

Makosiej Nicholas , Jeanette Haugh , Ghanny Steven , Aisenberg Javier

Background: Prolactin is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Hyperprolactinemia can be caused by stress, but pathological causes of hyperprolactinemia could be due hypothyroidism, medications or hypothalamic/pituitary tumors. It is important to differentiate between the causes of hyperprolactinemia. The best way to accomplish this is via a rest test. One way to accomplish this would be to measure prolactin levels as a part of a hormone ...

Graves’ Disease in Children with T1DM: A Report of Three Cases

Ngoc Can Thi Bich , Dung Vu Chi , Thao Bui Phuong , Khanh Nguyen Ngoc , Ha Nguyen Thu , Dat Nguyen Phu

Objectives: Type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disorder that is yet the most common type of diabetes in children and adolescents. Therefore, children and adolescents with T1DM are at increased risk for developing other autoimmune diseases including GravesÂ’ disease. Detection of thyroid abnormalities in children is crucial since thyroid dysfunction can affect growth, pubertal maturation, insulin metabolism and gastrointestinal function. Herein, we reported ...

Pituitary tuberculosis and hypothalamic obesity can be reversed by prolonged anti-tuberculosis treatment

Rochtus Anne , Lagae Lieven , Vermeulen Francois , de Zegher Francis

Background and methods: Sellar and suprasellar tuberculomas are extremely rare in children and most often patients present with headache, vomiting, visual disturbances, and hypofunction of the pituitary gland. Here, we report a girl with hypothalamic obesity, that recovers after antituberculosis treatment.Findings: An 11-year old girl presented with headache, fever and anorexia that progressively evolved into an encephal...
